We just had the best meal since coming to France at Le Jardin d'Amalula (The Garden of Amalula)…read more When we asked the owner what Amalula means, she said it is a contraction of the first names of her daughters: Amandine, Lucile, and Laurine. Laurine is the chef. The outside of the restaurant is inconspicuous; in fact, we walked right past it. But you walk down a corridor, through a small courtyard, and then into the small restaurant. But it's the garden out back that is beautiful. That's where we sat. My wife had Le Provençale, a tartine (toast) with bush cheese, red fruits jam, dried figs, dried tomatoes, and parma ham (like prosciutto). Delicious! I chose the plat du jour based on the owner's recommendation. Not sure what it's called but it was a tartine with tuna tartare & passion fruit, chutney with mango, pineapple, & red pepper, slices of avocado, and orange zest with pink berries. I don't know how they do it. Amazing flavor combinations. Glad we found this place with plenty of time to go back another time or two. Highly recommend!

Years ago I came to this restaurant and decided against trying it as it is a self service…read morerestaurant. I decided to try it this time. When you walk in they hand you a card that you use to scan for food. You go to various stations to order pasta, pizza or salads. The problem is that you have to stand in line for a salad then another line for pasta, another line for pizza and another line for drinks. The good part is that they make food as you wait and cook it while you wait. At lunch time it gets really crowded and it takes a while to get your food. I waited 20 minutes in line. I had the penne Arrabbiata. It was quite good.
